Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1350

Diana had never seen Nina like this before.

Her heart felt constricted, as if there was a heavy stone on her chest. The feeling was so suffocating that she couldn't speak for a while.

She just stared blankly at Nina.

The words were at the tip of her tongue. If she hadn't said them, even Nina wouldn't know how to bring this conversation to a close.

She was afraid Diana would keep harping on her and Vans, so she had to steel herself and continue to watch Diana coldly, forcing herself to say those words.

"Before, Julian..." she paused, raised an eyebrow at Diana, and continued, "Didn't he treat you as a stand-in?

Essentially, Julian was just as scummy as Vans.

Diana's own marriage wasn't that smooth. Her love went through many hardships before reaching today's harvest.

Nina didn't think there was any difference between her and Vans and the past Diana and Julian. She couldn't tolerate Diana constantly picking at Vans and calling her a mistress.

It was a stain on her and Vans' relationship, a stab of a knife into Nina's heart.

At the same time, the curiosity and anticipation on Diana's face all crumbled.

Even shock flashed for a moment. What followed was an extreme heartbreak.

She was sorrowful not because Nina mentioned her past role as a substitute in Julian's heart, and not because of Nina's expression when she said those words.

It was because...

After showing her best friend all of her vulnerabilities and exposing all the unpleasant aspects without hesitation...

Nina had actually used the thing that had affected Diana the most in her life to cause Diana pain.

"Nina."

Diana almost couldn't speak. Her voice was hoarse.

"You..."

This made Julian even more uncomfortable. As soon as he dropped Nina off, he hurried back to Diana.

Diana had closed the door.

Standing outside the bedroom, he could faintly hear her muffled sobs. He was anxious, eager to know what had happened between Diana and Nina. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the crying inside abruptly stopped.

"I'm tired," Diana told him, "let me rest alone."

Since hearing Nina mention the stand-in, Diana's painful memories seemed to be dragged up continuously against her will.

Yes, their current happiness with Julian didn't mean they had always been happy in the past. They had experienced divorce, and moments when they wished the other dead.

Diana understood she had no reason to judge Nina's emotional state.

She had done something wrong.

It seemed she had crossed a boundary.
